Chapter 318

Han Xin said nothing, instead observing the battlefield!

In front of the Xiongnu soldiers, a military formation blocked the way; the Xiongnu troops could not charge through at all!

And behind the Xiongnu soldiers, Li Cunxiao was slaughtering!

He alone killed tens of thousands of Xiongnu soldiers until they discarded their armor and helmets.

Every time he swung the Yu King Spear, more than ten people died!

Such terrifying combat power truly did not lag behind Li Yuanba in the slightest!

But... he ultimately lacked Li Yuanba's perpetual motion attribute!

After fighting for more than a double-hour, he grew tired and began to breathe lightly!

Continuing to observe the battlefield for a moment, Han Xin nodded toward Li Yuanba:

"Go!"

He gave the order while speaking.

At that moment, Li Yuanba wasted no words and charged straight in!

From then on, it was purely a time of slaughter!

Nightfall!

Inside Facing Ying Su's tent, at this very moment, Facing Ying Su ate roasted mutton and drank fine wine.

And by his side, Cao Zhengchun continuously reported the battle situation:

"Your Majesty, the experts from the Central Plains have already charged into Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu's army camp; both sides have begun to fight!"

"Your Majesty, General Li Yuanba has entered and begun the slaughter!"

"Your Majesty, General Li Yuanba fell into a pit; Li Cunxiao rescued him, and the two are working together to kill enemies!"

"Your Majesty..."

One battle report after another was reported by Cao Zhengchun.

When Facing Ying Su heard the moment the experts from the Central Plains fought Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu and others, he could not help but let out a light laugh!

Upon learning that the experts from the Central Plains had turned traitor again and that both groups were about to kill Li Yuanba together, instantly, his eyebrows knitted into a knot, and killing intent erupted all over his body!

When he learned that Li Yuanba's Wanli Yanyun had been exposed, his fist clenched directly!

At this very moment, he was extremely furious!

And when he received news that Li Yuanba's horse was not seriously injured, he could not help but let out a long sigh of relief!

Hearing again that Han Xin's military formation was slaughtering Xiongnu soldiers, he laughed out loud and could not help but praise: "Han Xin, the Immortal of War!"

While laughing, he gulped down a large mouthful of fine wine!

But just as he was happy, suddenly, Cao Zhengchun rushed back hurriedly and shouted toward Facing Ying Su:

"A great victory!"

"Your Majesty!"

"A great victory!"

"Someone ahead reported that Hulun Grassland has been completely occupied by our army!"

"This battle killed 310,000 Xiongnu soldiers; it is almost equivalent to the total annihilation of the enemy army!"

Hearing these words, Facing Ying Su laughed directly, and then could not help but ponder: what would happen if this victory report were sent to Xianyang?

143, Something's wrong, why is Bai Hu not reacting?

Inside Facing Ying Su's tent!

At this very moment, Facing Ying Su was thinking.

However, just at this time, unknowingly, the sky turned completely dark!

At this moment, Chong Xin rushed quickly into the tent and reported to Facing Ying Su: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

"General Han Xin and General Wang Jian have returned!"

He spoke excitedly.

And as soon as these words were spoken, Facing Ying Su did not delay for a moment and walked directly toward the outside of the tent!

He wanted to welcome the two personally!

But... the instant he stepped out of the tent, the two actually knelt on the ground together with a thud!

"Your Majesty! Subject Wang Jian is guilty!"

"Your Majesty! Subject Han Xin is guilty!"

"Hmm?"

As soon as the words were spoken, Facing Ying Su frowned heavily; he looked behind the two men but did not find Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao!

In an instant, a bad premonition arose in his heart; instantly, his face turned gloomy: "Did something happen to Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao?"

"Uh... no!"

Wang Jian quickly waved his hands!

Facing Ying Su frowned again: "Then did something happen to Lu Da, Lu Bu, Yao Yue, or Qiao Feng?"

Han Xin immediately bowed down: "All generals are unharmed; in this battle, our army suffered fewer than a hundred casualties!"

"Oh ho!"

Facing Ying Su laughed in anger; he neither helped Wang Jian up nor helped Han Xin up, but walked around the two of them, inspected them, and then asked with a hum:

"Ten thousand people defeated 330,000 people, and yet... you only suffered fewer than a hundred casualties!"

"And then... you come to ask for my forgiveness?"

"Come, tell me, where is your guilt?"

"Or... in your eyes, am I just a foolish ruler? Unable to distinguish right from wrong?"

Ying Su spoke up, and at this very moment, he felt a mix of irritation and amusement!

He wondered if his father, Ying Zheng, would approve of this approach!

But he truly could not stand the posture of coming to beg for punishment when one had actually achieved great merit.

Wang Jian doing this, he could barely tolerate!

The old fox was deep in thought, fearing that excessive merit would overshadow the ruler and provoke the Emperor's suspicion; all of this was understandable!

But what about Han Xin?

What a simple, pure person he was!

He had not the slightest interest in political struggles!

Yet now, he had been thoroughly corrupted by that old Wang Jian!

Since arriving at Hulun Grassland, Han Xin had done countless things, yet he had never once seen Han Xin request recognition for merit; every single time, that boy Han Xin came to him to beg for punishment!

"Speak! If you cannot produce a one, two, or three today, I will surely punish you both!"

As Ying Su spoke, he directly spread his legs and sat before the two, his eyes staring straight and fixedly at them!

Wang Jian was terrified; at that moment, his whole body trembled. How could he not hear the meaning in Ying Su's words, which contained a warning directed at him?

At this very moment, he felt a sensation of heart-pounding fear!

And Han Xin sighed: "Chanyu Modu has escaped!"

"Not only has Chanyu Modu escaped, but Xiang Yu, Fan Zeng, the Master, Weizhuang, Gai Nie, and countless others including the nameless swordsman have all fled!"

"Although this battle was won, yet... not a single key figure was captured or killed!"

Han Xin said this with a sigh!

Wang Jian added: "Precisely because of this, we have come to request punishment!"

"Oh! So that is how it is!"

Ying Su nodded, yet he still reached out and helped both of them to their feet, laughing loudly:

"What is this fuss? They are merely some small fry; let them run. If we slaughter all the Xiongnu soldiers under their command and leave them with nothing but a lone commander, can they possibly turn the world upside down?"

"Furthermore, this battle was not the final decision; before long, we will go to the Snow Mountain to fight the final decision!"

"Is that not so?"

Ying Su spoke with a smile, showing no concern whatsoever for these matters.

However, Han Xin sighed softly:

"If we could have captured Chanyu Modu alive, Your Majesty could have escorted him back to the palace; such a massive great merit would have shaken the entire world, and Your Majesty would not need to follow us into the grasslands to endure hardship and suffering!"

At this very moment, Han Xin spoke these words.

And the moment these words left his mouth, Ying Su was stunned!
